Why Prelate's Charge Ash of War Is Surging in Popularity Ahead of Boss Runs
By Marcus Vance
The sustained popularity of Prelate's Charge rests on its sheer mechanical reliability. While nimble boss encounters regularly dance outside the blast radii of static weapon skills, an advancing wall of fire tracks with target movement, pinning enemies against arena borders and turning defensive fights into one-sided posture breaks.
Securing the Ash of War from the snowy perches outside Guardians' Garrison provides any heavy weapons build with a definitive answer to Elden Ring's most elusive endgame threats. Paired with bleed-inflicting hammers and fire-boosting buffs, the skill remains one of the most effective sustained-damage tools available.
